What do J.J. Watt and Goldy Gopher have in common? On Sundays, you better get the fuck out of their way. Case in point: Earlier this year, during halftime of the Vikings-Buccaneers game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, a group of mascots took on some children in a scrimmage. On a halfback sweep Goldy did this to a Pee-Wee football player:
Y'all…@GoldytheGopher is a beast. #Savage pic.twitter.com/YbxWEwqhyR

Which got us thinking about other mascots steamrolling human beings (both large and small) during sporting events. Turns out, Goldy Gopher is just the latest person in a giant furry headgear to take down another human being at lightning speed. If anything, he was being gentle. See for yourself below.
